00:00Right on the back foot at the moment, they're going to lose their second inside three overs.
00:06The fans cannot believe it.
00:08Well, that man on screen, I reckon, is thinking, surely not another two day.
00:12We'll have to see a few days of cricket.
00:14Here he comes, Joe Root.
00:16He's out twice to Mitchell Stark in Perth.
00:20Mitchell Stark's had him out five times in Australia.
00:23Only averages 28 against him here.
00:26And this is a great challenge for England's best player.
00:30This is so important for the England side that this guy on screen just plays his way.
00:41He's the one player that can read the situation and be the glue for the team.
00:48Incredible numbers.
00:49An average of over 50 to 3,900, but yet to get one here in Australia.
00:55He's had 29.
01:00It's away.
01:02Relief.
01:03Big sigh.
01:05English fans.
01:10Number one.
01:10His feet have gone nowhere, that ball before that swung back in.
01:21I think Joe's trying to cover for the in-swing.
01:23You look at that front foot, the balance.
01:24First.
01:25Yikes.
01:25The errors.
01:29Asin!
01:29Asin!
01:30acceptable nh sacrifices.
01:34Asin'!
01:36Asin!
01:36Asin!
01:37Asin!
01:39It closes out another eventful Stark over after three overs, England two for eleven.
01:54It's at first slip.
01:57It's never going to carry through. It's a brilliant slip. It's a great effort.
02:01It's an unbelievable effort. You probably won't see this, but it just dips late on Steve Smith, but it's a great reaction.
02:07Let's see.
02:09It was identical to the first innings dismissal in Perth, that ball that nipped.
02:20What do you think?
02:34Almost finds a way.
02:37I saw earlier.
02:44Net early.
02:46There's that zip back off the pitch.
02:56Guides it away.
02:58That is a shot that he's been working a lot on in the nets.
03:05Oh, goes for the Yorker.
03:16Expect from Scotty Boland.
03:18Not sure if he just over pitched it, but it's a pretty good one.
03:22I don't think Joe Root was expecting it.
03:24No.
03:27Timing.
03:29A lovely classical shot from Joe.
03:33A knit back again.
03:34Nice straight bat.
03:35Lovely balance.
03:36Lovely timing.
03:37Shorter boundaries straight down the ground.
03:38Four for Joe Root.
03:39And that's the 50 partnership as well for these two.
03:41Yeah, beautiful shot.
03:42And a nice partnership.
03:44It's just momentum was all with Australia when Joe Root came into the crease.
03:50And he lost a couple of quick wickets.
03:51Two for five.
03:52And he's just got a great tempo to his bang, Joe Root.
03:53He keeps the scoreboard ticking over.
03:5717 from 23 without you really noticing.
03:58That wasn't a half folly.
03:59Just a small step.
04:00Watched it well.
04:01That's balletic.
04:02That is.
04:03That's ballet.
04:04No!
04:05No!
04:06No!
04:07No!
04:08No!
04:09No!
04:10No!
04:11No!
04:12No!
04:13No!
04:14No!
04:15No!
04:16No!
04:17No!
04:18No!
04:19No!
04:20No!
04:21No!
04:22No!
04:23No!
04:24No!
04:25No!
04:26No!
04:27No!
04:28No!
04:29No!
04:30No!
04:31No!
04:32No!
04:33No!
04:34No!
04:35No!
04:36No!
04:37No!
04:38No!
04:39No!
04:40No!
04:41No!
04:42No!
04:43No!
04:44No!
04:45No!
04:46No!
04:47No!
04:48No!
04:49No!
04:50No!
04:51No!
04:52No!
04:53No!
04:54No!
04:55Nice he worked.
05:09And Root advances and does nice.
05:12That's what they're trying to do to bowl.
05:13And we're starting Perth to get him off his length.
05:15A couple of strides from Root.
05:17Beautifully timed down the ground.
05:18Short boundaries.
05:19It's a glorious stroke.
05:22He just blocked that, didn't he?
05:24It's forward defence.
05:25After two strides.
05:28That's trying to disrupt the hankie.
05:32Yeah, nice press forward once again.
05:34Beautiful technique.
05:35Just a block shot.
05:37Bounce off the wicket.
05:38And as a fast bowler at mid on,
05:40Mitchell Stark, that's what you do not want
05:42when it's human conditions out there.
05:46Big chase down the wicket.
05:53So if you're Scott Bowling there,
05:54we've seen...
05:55Does it again.
05:57Rotate...
05:58Stuck in and playing some cricket.
06:01That's wide.
06:05That's him.
06:07Now some will be sitting...
06:09He's left a prop.
06:17That's good air.
06:19Yes!
06:22No!
06:28And all the mess...
06:29Oh, quick single.
06:33Good call.
06:34Good call.
06:46Good call.
06:47Another course.
06:52Oh, wow.
06:56True hit.
06:57Confirmation off the side.
07:05No!
07:06I'm not sure.
07:10Wait!
07:11Yeah.
07:12No!
07:13Yeah.
07:14Oh, nice.
07:17Oh, my.
07:20Oh, my.
07:23Oh, Nilly.
07:30That was it.
07:32It was high up.
07:33It was more leg side.
07:34No real control from Joe Rutten.
07:36Just for a moment, Alex Carey thought he was in the game.
07:41Oh, that was perfect.
07:43That was the right height.
07:44Execution was quite straight for a bumper.
07:46But look at the height difference.
07:49That's on the badge.
07:50That takes the glove.
07:51Oh, and Kez Nilly.
07:54Could he have got that?
07:58Fantastic agility there by Alex Carey.
08:01Way too wide.
08:03Just out of his reach there.
08:05Very athletic.
08:06Alex Carey is.
08:08Good effort.
08:12Great.
08:14Yeah.
08:16Yeah.
08:18Oh, what –
08:21Go, go, go.
08:23Oh, get it.
08:27Nice, good.
08:28Yeah!
08:29Might have been close.
08:31Catch it.
08:33Get it, get it, get it.
08:35Get it, get it, get it.
08:47With that beautifully, great timing pass, Mitchell Stark.
08:53Joe Root looking very, very ominous here.
08:56It was the 48.
09:00It's probably a good time because that shadow now has just completely taken over the pitch,
09:04so no sunlight on it, 3-4-1.47.
09:08Early days for Joe Root, he's only 48, but there's some really good signs.
09:13You can see his flow.
09:15This is a glorious shot taken outside of the off stump.
09:19He's using that right hand to work it through the onside where the space is.
09:24You can just see in his mannerisms and his body language.
09:30Oh, a bit of a topic.
09:32Great.
09:33Right there.
09:35And it gets through.
09:36And that brings up the 50 for Joe Root.
09:41Yeah, don't they like it?
09:42The Barmy Army.
09:43It's the 10th time he's done that in Australia.
09:46And yet to get 100 against Australia in Australia.
09:49Yeah, he's so important for England.
09:51But the best player scores a huge amount of runs down in Australia.
09:57And he's played beautifully today.
10:00Hit Nervy at the start, understandably.
10:02He was out there so soon.
10:03But he's really starting to find his flow.
10:07Coming in, eight to three balls, five fours.
10:14He's got a good record at the Gabba.
10:17Yeah.
10:19Flipped away nice.
10:20Act.
10:23Like that.
10:27He's done that fine.
10:28At least get two.
10:30Like that.
10:38He's done that fine. At least get two.
10:44That's nice. Down the ground.
10:46He's hit a lot of that today.
10:48And that will pick up a bit of pace and get into the rope for a boundary.
10:54Joe Root.
10:56It's almost a walking block shot, isn't it?
11:00He hits the middle of the bat.
11:02He timed it so well.
11:04Without overheating the ball.
11:06Just a good swing of the blade.
11:10Through the ball.
11:16Classic.
11:26Over there.
11:32Full delivery.
11:34Pits it in the gap.
11:36Might have taken him by surprise.
11:38Russ back to three.
11:40And it'll get there nicely.
11:42Yeah.
11:44Yeah.
11:46Look, I think the.
11:48Watchful from.
11:50Wait.
11:52It'll just start doing a little bit more.
11:56Nice.
12:10Oh, he's got right across.
12:12Bowler likes it.
12:14Pitching outside off.
12:16And back in lane.
12:17We get to missing.
12:19In the air.
12:20No let off.
12:21Oh.
12:22Batting well out.
12:23To Root.
12:24And it's a wild one.
12:25Yeah.
12:26And that's the problem.
12:28But.
12:29In.
12:49Final ball of the over.
12:53Final ball of the over.
13:10I still remember Adelaide.
13:23The offside now.
13:30He do.
13:37Get it, get it, get it.
13:43But I don't think he mind.
13:46It's the importance of them scoring at such a good...
13:50As you from the off.
13:53Yeah, look, I think it's good cap.
13:59Run, run.
14:04Oh, it's close. He's come down.
14:08Nice on the drive.
14:12Oh, it's close. He's come down.
14:16Nice on the drive.
14:19Nice on the drive.
14:21Nice on the drive.
14:23Nice on the drive.
14:27Nice on.
14:29Beautifully driven down the ground.
14:33He's such an elegant player, Joe Root.
14:35Timed to perfection.
14:37Moves to 77.
14:38The caller Root goes round the gabber.
14:41The English fans love it.
14:43210 for four.
14:45Beautiful on drive.
14:46It's his first boundary.
14:47It's his first boundary.
14:48And 18 overs.
14:50He's really having to work hard.
14:52But he's just trusted his technique.
14:54And that's when Joe Root's at his best.
14:56He's always busy. He's always looking to score.
14:58But he really has trusted his technique today.
15:00Full face in the back, that.
15:04And he turns again.
15:07Drives elegant.
15:09Great, great, great.
15:10Root.
15:12Just a bit of shape back there.
15:14Rides it.
15:16And plays it nicely.
15:18Does Root.
15:20Rides it.
15:21And plays it nicely.
15:22Does Root.
15:24Rides it.
15:25And plays it nicely.
15:26Does Root.
15:27Just gets the scoreboard ticking away again.
15:29And Joe Root is into the 80s.
15:31Needs support.
15:34Hey, it's the way he sways.
15:36He's given himself space to play this shot.
15:51.
15:52?
15:54?
15:56?
15:57And beats Root.
16:02Continues.
16:10Just cramped up.
16:12Joe.
16:14Just...
16:14Yep.
16:16He's thinking much bigger than that.
16:20He hit back, didn't he?
16:22Just wondering whether Smith would be tempted
16:25just to give Joe Root a single earl in their own,
16:27but he's actually...
16:29Nicely.
16:36These two chases on should get back for third.
16:40And they do.
16:40They're going to push hard.
17:06And the ball scurries to the boundary,
17:09so Joe Root goes into the 90s
17:10for the first time on Australian soil.
17:15He just didn't get the line right.
17:18Or the bounce either, to be honest.
17:21It's one of those ones where he can just ride with it.
17:23He can sense with Brendan Doggett's head position at release
17:32that he's not used to...
17:34It's it again.
17:36The chase on.
17:38May well be back-to-back boundaries.
17:39It is indeed, Joe Root.
17:43So much support.
17:45So many English men and women willing him on.
17:47And Matt Hayden's put his coat back on.
17:52Thank goodness.
17:55But it's great control.
17:58You know, there's not a lot of gaps out there
17:59on that hook shot,
18:01but he's finding him
18:01just a well-controlled shot.
18:04There's not a big flurry of the bat.
18:06He's controlling the angle of the blade.
18:09This has been...
18:11Chases it.
18:19There's protection.
18:33Test entries.
18:35Not one here in Australia.
18:3613,649 runs, Joe Root's scored.
18:44Just two more, Joe.
18:49Same field.
18:51Bowling.
18:52Miserly accurate.
18:58Tucked fine.
18:59It should get there.
19:01Start, chase four.
19:02A boundary.
19:03It's a first test century
19:06on Australian soil for Joe Root.
19:09A century that's been 12 years in the making.
19:14Release for Joe.
19:16An innings that's had not only his team,
19:18but his entire nation riding on it.
19:21His 40th in test match cricket
19:23and who knows,
19:24maybe the one that he will savour the most.
19:27Yeah, the England team,
19:29support staff,
19:30the fans are all on the feet,
19:31but so are the Australians.
19:33They've got one Australian
19:36that won't be
19:38celebrating Joe Root's three figures.
19:41He's a special man,
19:42a special player.
19:43Oh, they've been rewarded for their faith,
20:04and they've had the Barmy Army,
20:07the England supporters.
20:09They light up the Gabba.
20:12Wonderful moment.
20:16He's 40th.
20:18But the most precious
20:19has just arrived.
20:21It's the one that he wanted.
20:23All the talk leading into this series was
20:25Will Joe Root get three figures?
20:27He continues on his merry way
20:36with a touch of class,
20:38Joe Root.
20:40Another boundary
20:41to add to the total.
20:43The total that's increasing nicely for England.
20:45Remarkable moment.
20:49Joe Root's first turn on Australian soil.
20:51Seven for 260.
20:56Thanks to Canadian club.
20:58Michael Vaughan can talk us through that.
21:00The 100 package
21:01that's very dear to your heart, mate.
21:02Yeah, it's just been a technical masterclass
21:05from England's best player.
21:07You can argue England's greatest.
21:10The on-drive,
21:11the extra cover drive.
21:15Shots down to third have been there.
21:17The square cup
21:18in memory of Robin Smith.
21:21And the pull shots to match.
21:23It's been a masterclass
21:24from an incredible player.
21:28A technical masterclass.
21:32So, like Joe Root,
21:40just that angelic smile.
21:46Bowling.
21:50Four.
21:51In the gap.
21:54Jack Werther will
21:54want to pick it up late.
21:59And he runs, though.
22:00It's a crafty shot there
22:02by Joe Root.
22:04There is two men back there,
22:05but he's picked the gap.
22:06He's used the pace nicely.
22:08He's rode that well.
22:10One of his trademark shots.
22:12It's not easy to see
22:13out on the fence there,
22:14but that's...
22:19Oi!
22:19The reverse.
22:20Straight to cover.
22:22If they want to score runs,
22:23he should just still face.
22:24So, it makes no sense.
22:26Yep.
22:26Agreed.
22:27And there's a chance of...
22:31Oh, big Joe.
22:36There you go.
22:40Well, it's a big over.
22:4119 runs from it.
22:459 for 292.
22:47Closing in on that 300 mark
22:57for England.
23:03Towards mid-wicket.
23:05He lines it up.
23:08Down the ground.
23:10Four more.
23:11300's up for England.
23:13And they are making hay.
23:15With no sun shining.
23:16Yeah, love the shot there
23:18by Joe Root.
23:20Erwin's up.
23:21Freezes arms.
23:22Sits it back over
23:22Mitchell Stark's head.
23:25He's been seeing the ball
23:26well here today.
23:28Over five hours of batting.
23:30Great composure.
23:32Played all around the ground.
23:33Before that, they will.
23:35Root.
23:36Joe Root.
23:37Clear the ropes.
23:39Can Joe Root clear the ropes?
23:41By word, he can!
23:42On the reverse!
23:44Joe Root moves to 120.
23:46The skipper loves it.
23:48Shortest part of the ground.
23:51But guess what?
23:52You only need a bit of bat on it.
23:53It's been a trademark set of his
23:55the last few years.
23:58Watch this.
23:59Head nice and still.
24:00Doesn't quite get it,
24:01but it still goes for six.
24:02It's like David Warner batting, then.
24:0450 partnership up.
24:05This is England's best
24:0610th wicket stand
24:08at the Gabba.
24:09Are you not happy with the six?
24:10I'm happy with the six.
24:12It's Joe Root.
24:13World class.
24:15Joe lines up again.
24:16He's on 128.
24:17His first.
24:18And then it's
24:21to Root who advances.
24:24Pushes it down the ground.
24:25Arch will get the final ball.
24:27One English wickets to fall.
24:32Wants two and
24:33comes back comfortably.
24:34But he starts six
24:35and Bolan one.
24:37Put him that to Root.
24:38Number one test
24:52batsman, Joe Root.
24:53And then he goes Khan and
25:12and he goes
25:12to Root who advances.
25:14And then he goes
25:16to Root
25:19gut弟",
25:20Principal
25:21man
25:22So one hero departs.
25:29Great.
25:32Yeah.
25:37Yeah.
25:41Great.
25:50The Gava celebrates the champion.
25:52Well played, Joe Root.
